Listener Opinions

" It was cute, but I kept waiting for there to be a point to the story. "

" Wow. This book makes you go "ohhhhh!" in a whomp whomp kind of way for most of it. A touching read! "

by Kelly | 1/11/2014

" Illustrated by the author. Although it has really very beautiful illustrations, I find this book to be so sad. The final line is even, "I cannot help that I am so terrible." I would not use it for storytime and can't really think of an instance that I would want to use it. "

" The art in this is absolutely adorable, but the end is a bit anticlimactic. "

" T-rex explains how he feels about being "Terrible" and why he does what he does. "

" This is a lovely book about accepting yourself for who you are. The main character of this book explains that it is not his fault he is terrible, that people judge him on how he looks and what he eats. Nice to include in a unit on acceptance. "

" This one is up my alley. I laughed and laughed. It's a story about a T.Rex contemplating his place in the world. I get him. "

" A Tyrannasaurus Rex is misunderstood and doesn't understand why. He tries to imagine if he would be so terrible if he were different colors. Beautifully illustrated. "

" Wanted to do this for story time, but in the end, he is terrible? So, I don't know, I have decided not to use it! "

Kim Foy | 12/15/2012
